No one doubts we have some of the most advanced medical technologies,
research, and facilities. But if you measure systems by life expectancy,
the United States, at 37th in the world for both men and women, is not
even close to having the best.


If you leave out the 20 to 30% of the US population with unhealthy
lifestyles (drugs, alcohol, violence, etc.), the numbers look quite
different. Yes I know, it's really not fair to leave out all of those
democrats, but it is what it is.


So, if someone lives in a bad neighborhood, is a law-abiding citizen,
but is a victim of gun violence, it's that's person's fault? Or, if
all they can afford to buy is cheap food from the local, poorly
stocked store, it's their fault. Basically, that's what you're saying.


No, you visit Amazon or some book store, instead of a lid of crack or
pot, you buy and read a book to better yourself. Take evening course
instead of looking for hookers....work out of your whiner dysfunctional
attitude and learn to think like a winner.

Work out of it. Like I did. I started out being one of 4 kids, wrong
side of the tracks, drugs in the hood and all. Now, I live in a
neighborhood with bankers, CEOs next door. Self made honestly all the
way, most even tax paid as I do use IRA/RRSP to shelter.

Trouble with you is your LAZY and truly stupid. Just an undiciplined
MFer looking to screw someone else.
